5.0 out of 5 stars Many reviews are not for The New Foxe's Book of Martyrs, April 12, 2005
As editor of The New Foxes Book of Martyrs, I feel I need to protest Amazon's inclusion of reader's reviews that have absolutely nothing to do with that book and are, therefore, totally misleading. There are reader's comments regarding the inclusion of a chapter about John Calvin, which The New Foxe's Book of Martyrs does NOT have. One reviewer even makes remarks about it being published by Thomas Nelson Publishers, but The New Foxe's Book of Martyrs that you picture on this page was published by Bridge-Logos Publishers. The last reviewer criticizes the The New Foxe's Book of Martyrs strongly for not containing information about William Tyndale and Thomas Cranmer and others, which it clearly and definitely does contain. Another reviewer even says the book lists no editor, and my name is clearly on the cover and on the inside. Perhaps only 3-4 of these reviews are actually about The New Foxe's Book of Martyrs. So obviously Amazon has simply thrown together all reviews of all versions of Foxe's book and not the reviews of only The New Foxe's Book of Martyrs. So I wish to protest strongly Amazon's having done so since they discredit not only my work as editor of The New Foxe's Book of Martyrs, but they obviously harm the potential sales of the book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Incomplete edition, January 23, 2000
By A Customer
Readers of John Foxe's book of martyres should realize that the most complete edition of this work was published in the 1800s and comprised 8 volumes. A bound photocopy of that edition is available from Still Waters Revival Books in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. They have a web site. The present edition is a small sampling of the real Foxe.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice read but beware this is not a word for word reprint of the original work, December 22, 2006
John Foxe's Book of Martyrs is indeed a classic of Christian literature. John Foxe was born in 1517 and died in 1587. John Foxe documented the persecutions of Christians from the foundation of the church through his time. Outside of the Bible itself, this is one of the few books every Christian should read. From time to time the book has been updated to cover generations John would not live to see. While this book is a worthy read - be aware that this is not a faithful word for word reprint of the original works but as the cover says a rewrite. If you are interested in a rendition which remains more faithful to the the original author's words, look for a reprinted edition edited by (co-author) William Forbush.
